I've been having some temp issues with my desktop pc, my temps were 80 Celsius plus for both my CPU and GPU while playing video games. This caused my games to crash fairly regularly on with the Nvidia error: "Nvidia kernel mode driver stopped responding but as reconnected" and I would have to restart the game. Usually if I lower the settings on the game I could get it to stop, and not until the newer games, like Dragon Age Inquisition, came out did the lowest settings start causing the error too.
I recently upgraded my CPU to an AMD FD6300 with an H60 water cooling system and picked up another case fan. My CPU now doesn't go about 40 Celsius while in game, but my GPU is still hitting 80 Celsius on low settings for DA Inquisition. So I can play the game with few issues (sometimes some cut scenes will lag) but if I go up to Medium settings, which my GPU is supposed to handle without issue, it will run fine for awhile but then crash again with my GPU with 90+ Celsius while everything else stays relatively low besides the core temp rising a little bit.
Any ideas would be appreciated, I can deal with Low settings but it would be cool to get it higher.
My PC setup:
Cooler Master HAF 912 - High Air Flow Mid Tower Computer Case
-Intake fan at front (Stock 120mm)
-Corsair H60 fan/grill on top back fan slot = intake like it suggests though I wonder if exhaust would be better there or moved to a different slot
-Exhaust on the side panel which is over the GPU slot (Cooler Master SickleFlow 120 )
-Exhaust on top panel (Stock 120mm)
Mobo: ASRock 990FX Extreme3 AM3+ AMD 990FX
RAM: Kingston Technology HyperX 8 GB (the motherboard only is compatible with certain sticks)
CPU: AMD FD6300
GPU: EVGA GeForce GTX 650 Ti SSC 1024MB GDDR5 128bit
Power Supply: XFX ATX 550 Power Supply
HD: Have a 64gb SSD from Sandisk and a 1tb standard HD
